Subject: xcontrib: xcalc not _exactly_ like HP-10C

Package: xcontrib
Version: 3.3.3.1-0.1
Severity: normal

This is not a huge bug, but it's been bothering me for some time.

On a real HP calculator, doing `RCL 1' pops the first memory onto
the stack.  If you wish to add 5 to that, you then press `5' and
then `+'.  On xcalc, you must press `enter' after doing `RCL 1'
or else the `5' will be added as a digit to the recalled number.

e.g.

Key presses     Display on HP    Display on xcalc
4                     4                 4
STO 1                 4                 4
RCL 1                 4                 4
5                     5                45
+                     9                49
